Dog Training

A favorite among pet owners for over 50 years.

Our Dog Training Philosophy

Morris Animal Inn is committed to enhancing the relationship between pet parents and their dogs. We believe that good leadership is at the core of good canine behavior. When a dog willingly offers obedience commands this means that behavior has truly been learned. Positive reward-based training is proven to produce happy dogs who are willing to work; an essential component for success in teaching new behaviors! At Morris Animal Inn, we believe that the dog and their committed pet parent, working in harmony, will enjoy an amazing relationship that having a well-behaved dog brings.

Morris Animal Inn in Morristown, New Jersey, recognizes that the bond between an owner and their dog is a very special one. Our dog training program is designed to enhance that relationship and help your dog to be the best that he or she can be! In addition to your dog spending time with one of our trainers you will be provided with detailed instructions for reinforcement at home. We realize with today’s busy schedules sometimes you need a little help to get it started or to keep your dog on the right track. We hope to make that as easy as possible.

Manners Daycare—a fun-filled day of socialization, learning, games and exercise while you are at work, running errands or just want your dog to have a little extra fun. Social dogs will join in groups which are small and closely supervised by our specially trained staff and those that prefer to be with people will receive one-on-one attention from their own training counselor. Although fun and exercise are the main objectives, participants will learn while they play the day away!

Manners Packages— while your dog is boarding, our staff will reinforce basic manners with repetition and lots of positive reinforcement. Daily lessons may include a variety of learned behaviors including sit, come, attention work, impulse control, leash manners and more. The more often your pet participates in our Manners program, the further advanced they will become.

Canine Training Camp—send your dog to our 14-day overnight camp and let our professionally trained staff teach and reinforce basic obedience. Individualized lesson plans may include recall, sit, down, off, no jumping, no pulling and much more based on each dog’s progress and abilities. Our programs are reward-based with lots of positive reinforcement and repetition. We will properly fit your dog with appropriate equipment and provide instructional information so that you may continue to reinforce at home. Canine Training Camp offers a customized combination of training, exercise, relaxation and quality care.

We take special pride in our quality staff who are OPCLC certified for Animal Care and demonstrate passion for animals in all that they do!
